Note the change of tone in presentation - it's good to have the concept mature before starting work on it. The finished first mission will resemble a Desert Storm style opening battle with fighters opening a breach to allow mission-critical assets safety in attaining the necessary velocity for a Earth to Moon transfer orbit, whereupon the player's carrier group will be of utmost importance in assuring the Moon Convoy's survival against enemy orbital kill vehicles and/or commerce raiding attempts.

Q: Is this vital?
A: Maybe not, but it lies within my responsibilities to advice this.
Q: Any exploits here?
A: None that I know of.
Q: Are we safe now?
A: I have done what I can to secure the site. Nothing out of order has happened and then I also must admit taking this action late. Should have been done 10 days ago.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

NGCS/Earth 1 Intro Movie
This short 1:30 movie with a soundtrack from Enya functions as a little introduction to NGCS Earth gameplay and some of the newer mechanics involved, in physics, laser weapon modelling and of course the attack drones which are designed to be fully expendable.

Merry Christmas!
While there will be no Christmas release for NGCS/Earth, expect a teaser next week before the New Year, featuring at least a few scenarios for the Earth 1 area of operations. This will not be very extensive due to RL commitments but will feature the authentic Earth 1 style of space combat.
